Kwara United Chairman Advocates Nationwide Emulation of Kwara SWAN



The Chairman of Kwara United Football Club, Mr. Kumbi Titiloye, has commended the Kwara State chapter of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) for its unwavering commitment to knowledge-sharing and the professional development of sports journalists.

Titiloye gave the commendation during a digital media seminar and refresher session organised by Kwara SWAN for its members at the Taiwo Awoniyi Media Centre, George Innih Stadium Complex, Ilorin. He described the association as a pacesetter in the area of capacity building, stressing that its continuous seminars, workshops, and interactive programmes have greatly enhanced the growth of sports journalism in the state.

According to him, by equipping members with modern skills and ethical values, Kwara SWAN has not only elevated the quality of sports reporting but also strengthened the bond between the media and sports stakeholders.

 “Kwara SWAN has set a remarkable standard. Their dedication to training, mentorship, and professional development is second to none. Other state chapters should emulate what is happening here in Kwara so that sports journalism across the nation can improve,” Titiloye stated.

The football administrator further assured that Kwara United remains open to partnerships with the association in areas that would advance sports in the state, particularly football.

Kwara United will continue to work hand in hand with Kwara SWAN because we share the same goal of promoting sports and projecting the talents of our young athletes. This collaboration will be beneficial to both the club and the association, and ultimately to Nigerian sports as a whole,” he added.

He also appealed to other stakeholders in the sports sector—including clubs, administrators, and corporate organisations—to support SWAN’s efforts in promoting excellence in sports reportage, noting that a vibrant media culture is key to sustainable sports development.

In recent years, Kwara SWAN has rolled out several initiatives aimed at raising standards in sports journalism, including workshops for young reporters, annual sports awards, and regular interactive sessions with administrators and athletes.
